C: drive hidden at cmd prompt


Recommended Posts

"Windows Recovery" malware got me, tonight. MBAM took care of the problem, but I lost ALL of my icons/files/pictures AND my c: drive.

I figured out how to "unhide" the icons and files via Properties. When I go to the command prompt to make sure there is no left over malware and type "dir", there is nothing to diplay. I get, "Volume in drive C: has no label". then it displays a serial number.

I know the files/programs are there, because I can do CD to Windows or any other program that I KNOW is on the drive. It just won't display any of the files/programs.

How do I UNHIDE the files/programs on my C: drive? (via DOS commands)

Thanks for any help.

Also, as you may still be infected you should read and follow the directions here, skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then create a NEW topic here.

Please note that it may take 48 hours or more for you to receive a response in the malware removal forum, as it is often busy at times. Please do not reply to your own post asking for help unless its been more than 48 hours since you originally posted, as this can make it appear as though you are being helped and take longer for you to get help.
